About this title

Synopsis

Written by one of the world’s leading neuroscientists, Making Up the Mind is the first accessible account of experimental studies showing how the brain creates our mental world.

• 
  
• Uses evidence from brain imaging, psychological experiments and studies of patients to explore the relationship between the mind and the brain
  
• Demonstrates that our knowledge of both the mental and physical comes to us through models created by our brain
  
• Shows how the brain makes communication of ideas from one mind to another possible
